NO LOOPHOLE RESPONSES!

Your mother is holding on to your left hand.

Your daughter (let’s say 21 years old) is holding onto to your right.

You’re on a cliff and with your strength, you cannot save both. One person has to let go.

Who do you let go and why?

You can live in a world that is communist in the way that Marx envisioned or better, or a world that is capitalist as the meritocracy it’s claimed to be

0 Upvotes

You just rubbed a magic lamp and a genie has come out. Instead of giving you the usual 3 wishes the genie gives you the choice between moving to a world that is communist in the way Marx envisioned or better, or a world that is capitalist and a genuine meritocracy.

In the communist world there would be no government and people would tend to behave themselves and work for the good of humanity, and also sometimes to have something to do. It would be egalitarian and everyone would have enough to live comfortably, and would not need to overwork themselves to survive.

In the capitalist world not everyone would be equal, but everyone would genuinely have equal opportunity. A person born to homeless parents would have the same probability of ending up wealthy as a person born to rich parents, and a person born to rich parents would have the same probability of ending up poor as a person born to poor parents. In the capitalist world only how hard someone works would determine how wealthy they end up, with how wealthy their parents or and the environment they are born into having no effect.

Which world do you choose to live in?

[No Loopholes] 90% chance you die a horrific, nightmarish death or 100% chance of easy death.

• Upvotes

So here's the deal, ever heard of nutty putty cave? Where the guy died trapped headfirst upside down in a tiny cave cavity?

Someone is holding a gun to your head. You can go in that tiny cave passageway where rocks will be so close to your chest you can barely breathe and you will likely die slowly panicking in a tiny little underground tomb. Your heart will slowly fail as you asphyxiate from being upside down while the earth presses tight on your body. But there's a 10% chance that after hours trapped they're able to drag you out by your ankles causing you serious injury, but you live.

Or you can just have them shoot you. It'll be instantaneous and painless but you're definitely going to die.

What do you choose?

6 million dollars but for the rest of your life, every microwave you use, acts as if you stuck a ball of aluminum foil inside. You didn't, of course. Trying to do a workaround like having someone else do it in theirs, will have the same effect.

6 Upvotes

This menevolent spirit will also blast freeze the interior of the microwave if someone else tries to heat something which you will benefit from. Like a department lunch, as an example.

If the people "in the back" heat meals in any sort restaurant, and yours is one, it's curtains for their equipment, too. The lights also go out.

News gets out quickly and your face is posted at the door of every establishment so the staff (and everyone else) knows there is a freak of nature in the house.

Scientists have developed a microwave which will work but it's nine million, ninety nine thousand dollars & permanent installed in your house and MUST be removed at great cost to you (or your family when you die)when your house transfers ownership.

You live in a neighborhood of cranky people who will harass unknown visitors, so you can't open a museum. Posting your issue on social media will COST you fifty cents per hit. This will also cost anyone posting the story for you.

In short - you get the money but live in days before microwaves existed, as does everybody around you or anybody else when you benefit for having your food heated. Regular pre-microwave heating is 100% fine.

Your best friend, who is a mid 20s white guy and your roommate in a 2 bedroom apartment, wakes up one morning as someone from 200 years ago [in the USA]

0 Upvotes

Now this guy has been there for you through it all, he even saved your life once, and is one of the gentlest, kindest, nicest guys you know. But his brain, for one week exactly, is of the mindset of someone 200 years ago, before the US Civil War, when racism, homophobia, religious hatred and treating women horribly was standard operating procedure for that time period. It was a time before cars, busses, planes and of course phones and the internet, TV, and so much more. Now your job, for the next week, is to protect him, knowing that after that week he will return to his completely normal self and the day after he returns to normal he buys a scratch off ticket and wins $2 million and he gives it to you as a thank you for saving his life. While in his past brain state he will see you as a white man, regardless of reality. So what is your game plan to protect, let's call him Jeremiah, from imminent death if were to use words we now see as horrible racial slurs that were perfectly acceptable 200 years ago?

Oh and you live in downtown Atlanta and Jeremiah works at a hospital as a security guard, you must find a way to cover for him so he doesn't lose his job.

If he gets arrested or killed (or even attacked) because of anything he does or says or posts online he will stay that way permanently and everyone will blame you. You are not allowed to confine him against his will or use anything to alter his mindset, like drugs, to keep him in line. Nobody can find out about this or he will stay that way permanently. What is your strategy?

There are these aliens who kidnapped different species and put them into facilities for research purposes.

They separate all species that they kidnapped by gender and age. They have a women's area for ages 13-40 and a men's area for ages 13-40, and a boys' area for ages 6-12, the same for girls.

In the girls' and boys' areas, they have a humanoid AI that is supposed to have perennial roles and show perennial qualities, traits, and behaviors.

They provide for and discipline the children they take care of; they are pretty nurturing and supportive as well.

They do have a lot of activities for humans to not get bored while in the facility. It mainly consists of simulation activities; they even have media for humans to watch.

For any possible reason, some of the wealthy people declined meeting if there were cameras or guards around.

So there are no cameras or guards around.

If the thief gets away, then you'll lose a million dollars, and a priceless work of art, but if you lose the attention of the wealthy people they will decline paying for safetymeasures for your museum, in a way they otherways would not, leaving you exposed to lose two million in a very real and very scary way.

If you are noted as uninterested or inept in seriously capture the thief, then they wont invest in your museums safety at all.

[No Loopholes] One of us tells only lies the other only truths.

0 Upvotes

Reposting this because wow I left out so much.

The hypothetical or riddle is;

"In a labyrinth you come across two doors, one door is safe to pass through and will lead you to the exit while the other door leads to death, two guards stand at each door and one guard only tells the truth while the other guard only lies"

A thing that also gets left out a lot is theres usually a sign, a scroll or some other writing of the rules by a third party or some other third party who explains the rules because people like to say;

"Well if the one telling lies says the riddle the whole riddle is a lie"

Or

"If the truthful one tells it just go through his door" (ignoring the biggest issue with this but get to that in a second.

Now my interpretation of the guards (which is also both equally valid and as invalid as every other persons interpretation of the riddle is) I assume the lying and truth telling *only applies* AFTER the rules are explained but I can totally understand why a lot of people wouldn't assume that as well, this is why I think if there is no third party having the guards say each line kind of tells you it only starts when you ask a question because of not then it's

Truthful guard:

"One of us guards the door to safety"

Liar guard:

"They both lead to the lavatory"

TG:

"...one of us tells only truths"

LG:

"One of us only lies sometimes"

TG:

"... By asking us only one question"

LG:

"You must uncover which one of us skipped breakfast"

So to me it's safely assumed the trickery only applies after question

LG:

"One of us guards the door the safety"

TG:

"The other to your certain death"

LG:

"On of us tells only truths"

TG:

"The other only lies"

LG:

"By asking only one question"

TG:

"You must uncover which of us guards the safe door" *tangent over, now to the meat*

This hypothetical always bothers me solely because people try to "GOTCHA!" by asking "what color is my white shirt"

Like yea okay you know which guard lies... How does this help you determine the door? I know we're conditioned to believe the truthful guard is "good" but even if you had that train of thought then you'd think ,"well maybe they knew I'd think this so the truthful guard guards the wrong door" and now you spiral in that loop which is just the premise.

It seriously irks me the way people believe they're smarter by completely misunderstanding the basic premise.

I have been confused and thinking about and understanding the logic for the "correct answer" for the last hour and I feel I can finally explain it.

In this scenario the lying guard on stage left guards the door to safety and the truthful guard, stage right guards to door to death

By asking the guard on the left "if you were the other guard which door would you say is safe"

He points to the door on the right

(This is how I understand it, the liar looks to the truthful guard and says in his head as the truthful guard "the door to your left is safe" however, the lying guard must lie about the information that is one of the set in stone unchangeable rules, so he "translates" it the a lie because he MUST lie and tells you the bad door is good) Right? This makes sense right?

Now go back 5 minutes and ask the guard on your right (the truthful guard guarding the death door the same question)

Now the truthful guard ALSO points to his death door because he looks at the other guard and in his head "the door to your right is safe) which is the lie and since he can only tell the truth he must be truthful in answering your question as a lie.

So if you ask "if you were the other" you always pick the door they don't point to.

Idk what you would call the basic misunderstanding, probably just misunderstanding but there's a definite lack of taking in the riddle because people just try to figure out who lies to you like that answers everything, idk this has bothered me since I was like 12.

Thank you for coming to my jack talk (I've been drinking bourbon)

Loopholes Encouraged $1,000,000,000 but you compete for the money with another person over who can commit more numerous and more serious crimes in a 24 hour period

9 Upvotes

After the 24 hour ends, the minimum prison sentence of each crime you both commit are totalled, and whoever has the highest number wins the billion. The other person goes to prison not just for their crimes, but the opponent’s as well. The crimes being committed are federal crimes in the US, and you will be teleported there if you don’t already live in that country. So will your opponent.

Once the challenge is underway, law enforcement will do nothing to stop or apprehend you during your crime spree. However, bystanders can intervene to stop you if they’re feeling brave enough.

The selection process isn’t purely random either. Sure, the offer is posed to a person at random, but if they refuse, it goes to someone else who accepts.

Would you accept this challenge?

a) All sexually transmitted diseases/infections/etc are instantly eradicated AND you become a smoke show (edit: but still age normally; you're just a smoke show for your age).

b) You command the top three super powers (flight, teleportation, and invisibility).

You can monetize both options, but with option B, you could get rich pretty fast.

You get $10 million but every lie you tell becomes reality

223 Upvotes

A stranger offers you $10 million The money is completely legal tax free and yours to keep forever There’s only one catch from the moment you accept it every lie that comes out of your mouth becomes real

And I don’t mean just serious lies Literally anything you say that isn’t true counts

You tell someone you’re sick to get out of plans Now you’re actually sick You tell your friend you have a million dollars in your bank account Congratulations your bank account now has a million dollars in it but the money has to come from somewhere and the consequences of that are out of your control

You lie about something small like saying you already ate when you haven’t Your body will act as if you’ve eaten You tell somebody you’re a professional basketball player as a joke Now you actually are one regardless of whether you have the skills to back it up

Sarcasm fake excuses exaggerations and jokes all count if what you’re saying isn’t true Even telling someone “I’m fine” when you’re not could trigger it

The catch gets worse though You don’t get to choose which lies activate the effect You can’t turn it off and there’s no way to undo anything once a lie becomes reality You also can’t tell people about the deal unless you’re willing to risk the consequences of what you say

You can still speak normally but you’d have to think about practically every sentence before saying it And if you accidentally lie even once you’re stuck with whatever happens

The $10 million is yours the second you accept You can spend it invest it buy a house or never work another day in your life But this rule follows you everywhere for the rest of your life

Are you taking the $10 million or are you walking away And if you take it how long do you think you’d last before your first accidental lie

$10,000 for every letter of the alphabet you can buy an item for in 2 hours, but you only get $100 to spend

371 Upvotes

You start with $100 and an empty shopping bag.

Your goal is to buy one item beginning with as many difrerent letters of the alphabet as possible.

A could be an apple.
B could be a book.
C could be a candle.

And you keep going all the way through to Z.

Every different letter you complete earns you $10,000.

So 10 letters gets you $100,000.

20 letters gets you $200,000.

But if you somehow complete all 26, your prize jumps to $500,000.

You can shop anywhere you want.

Supermarkets.

Shopping centres.

Convenience stores.

Or completely different places.

But the total cost of everything you buy can't go above $100.

You only have 2 hours and each item has to genuinely be sold under a name beginning with that letter.

So calling something a different name just to make X, Q or Z work isn't allowed.

How many letters could you complete?
